Products & services
Smart tags
A smart tag is a tool that integrates communication, branding, and security. In just a few centimeters, it tells the story of the product and the company, conveys useful information to the customer, and ensures security and traceability, transforming packaging into a tool of trust and value. With CO&IN, you can integrate unique QR codes, NFC, RFID, and variable data into your tags or seals, obtaining solutions that combine function, design, and innovation. Each smart tag becomes part of the branding, bringing with it authenticity, transparency, and new communication possibilities.
SECURITY SEALS
CO&IN security seals, also known as security seals, are essential to guarantee the protection and integrity of products. Mainly used in the clothing sector, these seals are highly versatile and also suitable for other sectors. We offer a wide range of customizable security seals, designed to meet specific security and branding needs. Made with high quality materials, they can be customized with logos and finishes to add distinctive value to your brand. They can be a solution to avoid false returns in e-commerce or to hang a tag on a bottle, in metal or plastic, adjustable or fixed, with GOTS cotton or biodegradable plastic cord, with an always impeccable and personalized aesthetic. In fact, each seal is a safety device which, once closed, no longer allows reopening, thus guaranteeing originality and traceability of the product to which it is linked. Our security seals are available in multiple shapes and sizes, and can be made with cotton, rayon, or satin cord, offering fully recyclable or biodegradable options.

HEMPACK
CO&IN Tailored Packaging is a company in Granarolo Emilia (Bologna) founded more than 40 years ago in a production district where historically industry and agriculture merge. The company has been producing highly customized packaging for fashion, food & beverage, cosmetics and household items with a twofold philosophy: a short supply chain and a low environmental impact long before these issues became so urgent and cross-cutting. Today, CO&IN Tailored Packaging introduces a project of a self-assembly box made of 100% biodegradable paper, produced from hemp cellulose (annual plant that needs, at the same cellulose production, of ¼ of the soil in relation to the trees). The hemp paper is produced using the natural glue of the fiber itself (no added glues) pouring only rainwater and without any chemical in the mix. The paper is then, hand processed in vats and air-dried through cold pressing.The whole production process takes place in Italy. At CO&IN Tailored Packaging, paper is die-cutted, folded and finished with techniques such as embossing, debossing, laser cutting or engraving, without any addition of material, making the product totally biodegradable and using advanced machinery with high energy efficiency that are powered by solar panels (CO2 reduction). The design allows a reduction in packaging weight and volumes (a light structure with open corners), the use of mono-material (maximum recyclability) and it enhances the uniqueness of each product, therefore tailoring it to a specific project. CO&IN Tailored Packaging is committed to ensure that mass production meets and enhances Italy’s huge craftsmanship heritage, producing articles whose life-cycle has the least possible impact (in production, transport, recycling). We believe in an inclusive design across all fields, in perfect balance between craftsmanship and mass production, expressed in the ongoing dialogue between design, know-how and tradition.
CRAFTED TO DISAPPEAR
In a world where pollution does the moonwalk and artificial intelligence is brighter than a squirrel in the morning, our challenge can be summed up in one question: how can packaging survive? If production is worthwhile, can we create goods that have a high impact but a low environmental footprint? Crafted to Disappear is a versatile project, we've designed it to be flexible. By simply swapping a few pieces, the design can come together and manage multiple references with minimal set-up. Crafted to Disappear has an eco-friendly soul and is so clever that it has an answer to everything, even the question "How does a chicken get into a box? The answer, of course, is inside the box! Crafted to disappear is entirely mono-material, made of colorful corrugated cardboard, with a tag made of soluble paper. It is embossed and printed with a soy-based ink, and the string is made from woven paper. With this project, we don't want to bore you, we don't want to surprise you, we just want to challenge you: how can packaging survive? * selected by Avant Garde, Design category *
